If anything, the one thing I've learned in recovery as well is that I get to tell people how I truly feel and not be afraid of it.
What happens when a Marine's life spirals into addiction, only to rise again as a beacon of hope for others? Meet Leo Martinez, a clinical supervisor and substance abuse counselor, whose journey from the depths of addiction to a life of recovery is nothing short of remarkable.
